We were the recipient of an invitation
to attend Reception given by the pupils
of Miss Leonora Hubbard's School in
honor of Washington's birthday last
Tuesday afternoon at 8 o'clock, and regret
exceedingly that our business engage
ments at that hour were such as to pre-
vent US from attending. It was, no doubt,
a most pleasant occasion. The exercises
consisted of reading original compost
tions, recitations and delivering extract
speeches, all on the subject of Washing
ton. The programme concluded with
short talk from School Commissioner
Clinkscales. Miss Hubbard is most
efficient and accomplished teacher, and is
very popular with both her patrons and
pupils.
Coroner Nance came near having
job at the C. & g. depot last Friday after
noon. A North Carolina tobacco drum
mer named Leak, was at the depot await
ing the departure of the 5 o'clock freight
train for Belton, where he intended going.
The cab stood some distance up the track
from the platform, and as the train started
off Mr.. Leak endeavored to board it from
the platform. When the cab reached
him, the train was moving at good
speed, and as he reached out his hands to
grasp the railing he was thrown under
the car. Fortunately he had the presence
of mind to roll himself under the plat
form, and thus escaped most horrible
death. The train carried his baggage on
to Bolton, and he returned to his hotel
wiser but badly frightened drummer.

Miss Samuella Brown, who, We men,
toned two weeks ago, had offered her SER
vices as missionary to China, has re-
turned from Nashville, where she went to
stand an examination before the Mission
ary Board of the NJ. E. Church, South.
She came up fully to the requirements of
the Board, a member of which has writ.
ten to her pastor here that she was the
most intelligent young lady that had ever
come before the Board. For several years
past the Board has endeavored to get some
young lady to consent to take thorough
course in medicine, in order that her work
as missionary in China might be more
effective, but its efforts were in vain. AS
soon as Miss Brown passed her examina-
ton, she so favorably impressed the Board
that she was at once asked if she would
consent to take course in medicine prior
to her departure to China. She agreed to
do so, and the first of next September will
go to New York and enter as student in
one of the medical colleges of that city.
She will thoroughly prepare herself in
the medical profession, and it will be per-
haps three or four years before she will
go to China.
